The Electric Blue Balloon Ram Cichlid is a captivating variation of the popular Electric Blue Ram Cichlid, known for its vibrant, shimmering blue body and unique "balloon" shape, which results from a slightly rounded body structure. This dwarf cichlid adds a burst of color and charm to freshwater aquariums, making it a perfect choice for aquarists seeking a striking yet peaceful fish. Reaching just 2-2.5 inches in length, Electric Blue Rams are perfect for smaller tanks of 30 gallons or more. They thrive in warm, stable conditions and appreciate a well-planted setup with hiding spots and open areas to explore with other small, non-aggressive fish. Their diet should include high-quality flakes or pellets, along with frozen or live foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp to support their health and coloration. Ideal for aquarists of all experience levels, the Electric Blue Ram combines stunning looks with a calm demeanor-making it a standout choice for peaceful freshwater tanks.
